A three and a half month field practice was conducted at Cavite Apparel Corporation, Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), Rosario, Cavite. It aimed to expose the student to the different activities of the firm and gain experiences on how to work as an employee, to know the organization and management, production, marketing and human resources management being employed by the firm; and determine the problems encountered by the firm and recommend some possible solutions. Information and data about the company were gathered from files and records and through personal interview with the administrative staff and other employees who were knowledgeable about specific matters like management policies, production, marketing and operations of the company. Other relevant information were gathered from the CEMDS library, Internet and CvSU library. Cavite Apparel Corporation was established in November 1989. A group of Filipino investors organized it to manufacture men's suits for the export market. Cavite Apparel Corporation management brings with it the pioneering technical expertise in the manufacture of men's suits in the Philippines with 20 years experience in both textile and garments production. The company started with a machinery / equipment producing 500 suits per day. Since then, additional machineries and equipment were acquired to achieve a capacity of

1200 suits per day. The firm is in the business for 14 years now and employs a local workforce of 673 direct / indirect labor including the management. The firm is run and managed by the Board of Directors headed by the President. The day-to-day operations are attended by the Vice-President and Executive Director with the assistance of its under departments. The management team of Cavite Apparel Corporation pursues a policy of openness and cordiality. They strictly enforce their rules and regulations in order to maintain the smooth flow of operation and grow continuously. Also, the management gives some benefits and incentives in order to motivate their employees to perform well.
Cavite Apparel Corporation is proud of being the only manufacturing company in the Philippines accredited by J.C. Penney, Bill Blass, Foreman, Hardy Amies, Clark and other signature brands through its main importer, Neema Clothing, Ltd. The company has already established its good reputation as the best suit manufacturers in the U.S.A. They produce coats and pants of high quality. The production capacity of the firm is 36,000-45,000 suits per month. All of their products are distributed in the export market. A problem encountered in its operation was the delay in production due to delay of the arrival of raw materials. Cavite Apparel's future plans are to put another manufacturing plant in Bataan or Batangas province and to expand its market coverage not only in the United States of America but also in Europe in order to be more globally competitive.
